Recent expansion in natural gas production has made the resource an
increasingly significant component in the U.S. energy market.
Further, a number of policies recently proposed and/or promulgated
at the federal, state, and local levels may serve to accelerate
this development. Examples of federal policies include U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency air standards for power plants and
vehicles, as well as bills introduced in the 114th Congress to
promote increased natural gas production on federal lands, amend
provisions in the tax code to incentivize natural gas production
and use, and streamline the approval, permitting, and/or
construction of natural gas infrastructure. Many of these proposals
promote technology and infrastructure investments that could be
significant and long lasting. For this reason, some stakeholders
recommend a thorough analysis of the costs and benefits of these
proposals as well as a full assessment of the economic and
environmental impacts of increased natural gas development.
Fuel-switching strategies from other fossil fuels to natural gas
have the potential to impact many segments of the general economy,
including jobs, investments, infrastructure, national security,
human health, safety, and the environment. The net climate impact
of replacing other fossil fuels with natural gas depends upon a
number of analytic assumptions, including the choice of fuel,
end-use sector, equipment, and processes modeled. This book
presents a comparative analysis of the potential climate
implications of switching from coal to natural gas in the domestic
electric power generating sector. Furthermore, this book provides
information on the natural gas industry and the types and sources
of air pollutants in the sector. It examines the role of the
federal government in regulating these emissions, including the
provisions in the Clean Air Act and EPAs regulatory activities. It
concludes with a brief discussion of the aforementioned outstanding
issues.
